The fact leaked out this week
that a diamond robbery was
pulled off in Yukon several
weeks ago. Diamonds aggrega-

stolen. The parties who lost
the gems claim to have strong
evidence as to who is the thief
and an arresc is liable to occur
any day. We are not at liberty

A Clean County.
Sheriff Chambers is cleaning
up Canadian county. He has
raided gamblers at El Reno, Yu-
kon and Union City and made
the ways thorny for the i boot
legger to travel When Cham-
bers was a candidate he told
the people he stood for the en-
forcement of the law. Some
believed while others did not.
He has made good and the
scoffers have been silenced.
He hrs oftentimes been handi-
capped because the very people
who complained the most would
not furnish the information.
This made it extremely hard on
him as an officer yet neverthe-
less he has put the Indian sig-n
on gambling in the county.
Since the idea of providing for
a complete high school for the
Yukon district was advanced by
The Sun two weeks ago, ex-
pressions have been heard coming
from the farmers of Yukon
township favoring the buildintr
of a township high school for
Yukon township.
Many pupils from other dis-
tricts in Yukon township attend
the \ukon schools every term
and are required to pay a tuition.
With a township high school
this would not be nececessary
and the school children of Lhe
entire township would have the ■
advantage of as good a school its
could be found abroad. The
editor of this paper has talked
with several prominent farmers
of the township and l,hey favor
the idea of a township high
school.
Yukon township needs a high
school. Thoro are, approximate-
ly eight hundred pupils who at-
tend school every year in the
different districts of Yukon
1 township. A goodly per cent
of these finish every year the
studies taught in the district
schools and are then compelled
to stop their education or stand
the big expense of going toother
places to continue their studies.
With a township high school
they could progress from the
district schools to. the township
hitfh schools and have the same
advantages they would secure by
leaving home and going to other
places. The scholars could all
return to their homes at night
with little trouble.
Yukon township needs a high
school.
Yukon township can afford a
high school. The assessed val-
uation of Yulcon township this
year will run close to the two
million dollar mark. This would
[call for only a small tax levy for
the support of the high school.
The citizens of Yukon town-
ship who are progressive land
have the educational interests of
their children at heart will no
doubt approve of the ides*.
